I certainly don't feel any pressure to "look" any specific way. I honestly don't really give a damn what people think I look like. I wear cycling clothes because they're the most comfortable thing to wear when I'm cycling. I don't "expect" anyone to look any special way.

I've never understood why women put up with the whole face paint and clothes thing. I guess they must enjoy it, but I can't imagine why. A nice smile is better than a professional makeover. I've never personally liked the look of makeup, and I don't really think it looks good, but OTOH it's their choice. I've got better things to do with my time than to worry about what other people look like, and what they look like to me.
